Florida Child Custody and Visitation Lawyer
As of October 1, 2008, Florida replaced the traditional child custody and visitation model with a new parenting plan model that more specifically identifies shared parental responsibilities, time-sharing schedules, decision making authority and other considerations. Divorcing parents can either agree on a parenting plan or the court can create one for them. Parenting plans that are agreed to by the parents generally go more smoothly than those imposed by the court.
Once a parenting plan is approved by the court, it cannot be changed without either a written agreement between parties or a formal request for a modification. At the Longwood, Florida based law firm of Michelle A. Barry, P.A., we can help you with a parenting plan that addresses all pertinent child custody issues and work to implement a plan that allows you to maintain a relationship with your children after the divorce has been finalized.
Protecting Your Interests and the Interests of Your Children
In Florida, the court's primary concern is for the best interests of the children. It will look at many different factors in making its determination on child custody. We believe strongly in your parental rights. We will work diligently to see that any parenting plan fully considers those rights and lets you have a meaningful presence in your children's lives.
Attorney Michelle A. Barry is proud of the personalized service she provides to every client. She handles every aspect of your case herself and keeps you updated on the progress of the case throughout the process. She has a complete understanding of Florida family law and she is committed to helping you reach a positive outcome.
